LXi Price and Specs, Maruti Suzuki Brezza

The LXi is the base Brezza with the 1.5 litre K15C petrol, priced at ₹8.35 Lakh ex-showroom. It makes 102 bhp and 139 Nm with a 6 speed manual and Smart Hybrid help, which recovers energy when you brake and adds a little push when you accelerate. Its 21.09 km/l rating is the best of any petrol Brezza.

Kit is basic. You get air conditioning with rear vents, power windows all round, keyless entry, electrically adjustable mirrors and halogen projector headlamps. Safety covers six airbags, ESP, hill hold, ISOFIX mounts and rear sensors with an infographic display.

Here is the catch. The LXi costs ₹85,000 more than the LXi Turbo yet misses that car's automatic AC, rear defogger and seat height adjuster, and neither has an audio system. Pick it if you value the extra 0.62 km/l, or step up to the VXi for a touchscreen at ₹9.31 Lakh.
